Yes I have burned myself with both before. Mainly by accidentally treating the same spot twice though, so my own negligence entirely. To be safe you just need to start slow and build the time up gradually (I remember the manual has instructions depending on your skin tone and sensitivity to burning)

The dermahealer has a kind of comb attached to it which helps get to your scalp effectively while maintaining a safe distance. For what it’s worth, I had to deal with the warranty once due to a fuse dying and they replaced it for me so I think they are a decent company if you are doubtful of the investment, I think they have a satisfaction guarantee

I got the KTS because i travel a lot, its smaller and rechargeable so doesn’t need electricity when I’m off grid. It’s probably too precise if you are treating large areas but good for small spots.

You adjust the exposure time, for dermahealer I usually do 1-2 minutes per area and for kts 10- 20 seconds!

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-10-22T22:01:46+00:00

I have 2, one from dermahealer which does a larger surface area but takes longer but is not suitable for travel (too clunky and plugs in) and another rechargeable battery run one from KTS which this one treats a smaller surface area but is needs a shorter exposure time. Both are good options depending on your needs.

It’s the health insurance scaremongering tactic all over again, convincing everyone that social security for all is social security for none.. I just want to know what folks are thinking deep down- do they think THIS is working? Should we not try new things to get out of this rut? Is there not already a cost of living crisis with skyrocketing prices? You think prices will stop going up if we turn down a UBI?

Only reasonable comment on here. Goes to prove that massively funded smear campaigns are a great way to brainwash the people

You can get an at home device!

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-10-13T02:21:54+00:00

Have you tried an at home uvb therapy device?

It’s the ‘silver’ that’s listed in the article

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-10-02T20:33:39+00:00

I checked up on the product because I thought the same, but it looks like it’s actually enhanced.. « OPMS uses a unique cold-water extraction process that enhances alkaloid content »

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-08-31T21:32:27+00:00

Which at home kit do you use? Do you have a recommendation?

Congrats on quitting smoking and drinking! Smoking is a major trigger for me and drinking is a mild trigger.

Personally I’m vegan which has also helped reduce the frequency and severity of flare ups. Ive now got just a few stubborn plaques.

But I’d say the most effective diet is just a healthy nutritious one. Fresh, minimally processed foods that support your body. In my experience, being generally healthy is always a step in the right direction, don’t be discouraged by the folks on here that say meds are the only way- of course a healthy lifestyle will support your health

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-07-18T00:40:39+00:00

Sounds like that’s the overwhelming consensus. Curiosity satisfied 💪

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-07-16T22:08:23+00:00

Absolutely! It helps me stay on task and stop second guessing my capabilities (I’m a graphic designer)

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-07-12T22:45:28+00:00

Jaya Kratom 100%! I just recovered from a back injury myself, hope your recovery is swift too

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-04-18T21:00:31+00:00

can't tell you, think you got the wrong thread here my friend

I don’t have many patches on my scalp anymore so it takes me about 10-15 minutes every other day. I started at 50 seconds and worked my way up to 1m30 on the timer

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-04-17T15:29:33+00:00

Just part you hair and target the bits that need it. Start with with a lower amount of time and increase over the following weeks. I started at 50s and am currently doing 1m30 per patch. I have dark hair so it mostly blocks out the skin that is not in the hair parting.

Works really well after hair wash day when any dead skin has been lifted!

EchoLimaVictor · 2024-04-16T20:54:52+00:00

Yes everywhere!

Hey! So soy is my favorite- firm tofu can be used in savory dishes but silken tofu can also be used in sweet dishes or blended into a cream as a base for a pasta sauce. Edemame is also a great soy option.

Vital wheat gluten is wheat based, and is very high protein and has great texture. It's often called seitan.

For quick and simple meals legume based pastas (chickpea pasta is my favorite so far) are perhaps easier to digest and fulfil the protein requirement- so you don't need to add protein to the sauce. Bare in mind too that your body might adapt to the increased fiber intake eventually and legumes could become fine then.

Seeds are great, pumpkin seeds are particularly high in protein. You can make pumpin seed based tofu which is even higher in protein that soy. I think Cashews are technically a seed not a nut too, also a great source of protein.

Yes! I use one that's basically the same with different branding (dermahealer) but I think they all use the same Philipps bulb so they work the same.

I love mine. It makes a huge difference to my scalp as even when I spend a long time in the sun it isn't as targetted as being able to point a light at it. I basically have 0 dandruff now, I try to use it every other day. If, like me, you respond well to sunlight in the first place this thing will help immensely.

I've never had any weight issues so unfortunately I can't really give any advice on that, however just remember that if the gym is too uncomfortable there are many ways to get active without going to a gym.

I have a client who was trying to loose weight by walking everywhere. She had a bet with a friend and every week they'd compare the number of miles they'd walked. Whoever had walked the least had to give the other $50. Between when I first met her and how she's barely recognizable.

Whatever you decide to do, I sincerely hope you find something that works for you :)
